The annual RSPB's 'Big Garden Birdwatch' returned on 29 to 31 January 2021. Children across the school were encouraged to take part and they found out how to spot the best birds in their garden with a handy RSPB birdwatch guide and recording sheet. 2021 marks the 42nd RSPB 'Big Garden Birdwatch', which saw keen birdwatchers across the UK join the largest garden wildlife citizen science project by spending one hour tracking the birds they saw in their gardens. During that time, across the UK hundreds of thousands of people volunteered their time. Last year, over 500,000 birds were counted by Big Garden Birdwatchers in Scotland giving real insight into how our birds are faring.
